The bolded seems to have changed. For the last two nights I’ve been able to buy DLR’s G+ just after midnight in prep for the next day.

Look like they are mirroring WDW in that respect now.

Could you start booking at 7am? Or did you have to enter the park first?

I didn’t try that early, sorry.

Beginner question: i previously put our tickets on the app and made park reservations. My wife now has linked the tickets on her phone - should the park reservations also be visible in her app?

If I recall correctly when we did all the parks at DW last year it did show the park tickets and the entry date for that specific park

Have they changed Genie+ selection to 7 am or is it still upon park entry?

It is still upon park entry. And you can’t buy it until you enter the park if you did not buy it with your ticket.

Thank you. I purchased it with my tickets so I wasn’t sure if I could book at 7. How about $ILL, do you book at 7?

No. At Disneyland you can’t book anything until after you enter the park. Also, for $LL you won’t pick the time it will assign it like it does for regular LL.

Saw yesterday that G+ will soon have the option to refresh/change your existing reservation without cancelling it. So if you have a Space Mountain at 3:00 and its just before lunch you can check the app and if there is an earlier time or another ride you would prefer you can see it and can book it. A small postive change, IMO.

If you are in the park at 7:30 for EE, can you book your first LL then or do you have to wait until official park opening?

Once you scan in, you can book LL, whether you have EE or not.

Does anyone know whether all members of the party need to have scanned in to make the LL bookings? Or can we evoke the old FP system and have a “runner” who enters the park at opening in order to make the first selection for the entire connected party?

Everyone has to enter.

Just an fyi to those that end up here that are planning for WDW, this is not the case at WDW. It’s one of the few ways the systems are entirely different.

 

[OlliePop27]

Even though you can't make LL reservations until everyone has entered for the day, can you make ILL without having entered?

 

[Lisa24jks]

Nope. Same rules with the ILL as the LL.

8/17/22: Editing to say that this strategy won't work as well now that the Lightning Lane rules for park hopping have changed. Sorry!

I loved your Genie + with park hopping strategy! What changed that it won't work as well now?
Thanks in advance!
